yep looks good.

thought it was vinyl as it is very similar to a vinyl striping layout you can get.

Ed,

The rear end mural is priceless.  I hate it when I see a really good one as then it is taken and I can't think of it.  Probably a lot of stuff is safe from being discovered by me.  Great looking bus.  Thanks for sharing.

Do the door window and do it in double pane.

The windows on the bottom of the door on my RTS were useful, but I planned to take them out because I plan to have a slide to cover the steps. I plan on using cameras everywhere possible for helping with vision.

Hi yo silver

That's gotta be the cooooolllest thing anybody ever put on the back of a bus!  I gotta show my kids!  The girls bedrooms used to have that glow in the dark motif when they were little.  Now they have little ones of their own, and they'll still love it!

It's just my humble opinion, but, even though cameras at every corner and nook and crevice might be really high on the cool factor chart, the reality is more like, what happens when the monitor quits? or a camera loses it's water tight seal and your in the middle of heavy traffic in the rain?

I'm kind of a belt and suspenders kind of guy, I like having as many options as possible, especially when it comes to seeing around me.

I believe if I were going to use cameras, I would leave any windows needed for vision as a backup when ever needed. Electronics have a nasty tendency to quit working just when you are expecting them to do their best.

However you do it, do it YOUR WAY, you will anyhow!  ;D

Well, in my case, it is just that the window in the bottom of the door wouldn't do any good beneath floor level. A nice convex mirror would appear to be more functional in my case if you don't want a camera. I would never totally rely on electronics for something as important as vision, but I will supplement the mirrors with cameras.

My entrance door looks very much like Ed's door and has a similiar single window.  My original door had a lower window, but I haven't found that I miss the lower window.

I had figured I could install a lower window if need be, but it is low on my list right now.

Could try the ol "Waxy-on, Waxy-off" approach and be able to sense your surroundings as you will be at one with the bus.




;D
It's all fun and games til someone gets hurt. ;)
